The Granny White congregation has made vital enhancements to its already highly successful Children’s Bible Hour ministry.  Every Sunday morning our children participate jointly in our worship assembly for the first fifteen or so minutes.  After we observe communion, our children from age three to grade four are dismissed to their “Sonshine” Bible class in order to receive biblical instruction on their level.  The Sonshine Bible class consists of singing, skits, puppet shows, and various kinds of crafts.   Our Family Life Minister, Jeff Wilson, will be implementing a new team approach that will open up the opportunity for more people in the congregation to be involved on a rotating basis in the Sonshine Bible class. 

Another new enhancement will be the change that will occur every fifth Sunday.  Instead of dismissing our kids to the Sonshine Bible class, all children will be invited to sit around the stage in the front of the auditorium, giving me and the song leader an opportunity to talk and sing briefly with our children.  Afterwards, the children will return to their parents and remain with all of us as we continue to worship God together.

The Sonshine Bible class is just one of many ways we as a congregation are investing in the spiritual welfare of our children.  We will continue to provide outstanding Bible classes for our young people on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM and Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM. 

Our Mothers Day Out Ministry meets every Wednesday from 9:00 AM to Noon.  Contact us if you have interest in learning more about it.

Our youth group continues to be challenged spiritually.  Currently our teen’s class on Sunday mornings is divided into two groups–male and female–for gender specific instruction and encouragement.  We believe that there are biblical issues and studies that are better addressed in a separated class rather than a combined one.  Scott Tillman, our Youth Ministry, has also planned a Youth Lock Out for February 26-27.   The Lock Out will be filled special activities designed to promote faith, friendship and fun!  Again, contact us if you’d like more information about our youth ministry.

This has been an unusual winter for us in Nashville–lots of snow and ice!  However, spring is right around the corner.   Seek God and discover His will for your life.  Join us as we continue to touch hearts, change lives, and praise our Creator.  God is good all the time; all the time God is good!
